The picture quality on Robert Luketic’s card counting film 21 looked too smooth when I saw it in cinema on Tuesday. Avid’s customer showcase page confirmed what I suspected: it was not shot on film, it was shot with HD digital cameras.
The digital movie cameras of today can provide amazing looking shots if the director and director of photography know what they’re doing, but in this case the end result looked like a dvd projected with a digital projector, even though the theater I saw it in used film projectors. I really missed the grain and texture of film. Very disappointing.
